Have to check the wiki for the recipe for the legendary you want. I know each involves collecting different rare items and feeding them to the Mystic Forge. One of the ingredients for each legendary weapon is an exotic weapon of the same type, ie sword for sword, staff for staff, which you have to either craft first, requiring other rare items, or buy from trading post.

I just looked at the wiki. You need an item you get as a reward for completing every map (ie every heart, every point of interest, every skill challange, every vista). I have troubel with vistas. You need an item you from playing World Vs World. I hate PVP.You need to max out 2 crafting disciplines. Thats level 400. I don't think I'm half way there on any one. You need those max levels to craft some of the other items. And finally you need luck. Because you need the forge to give you 77 Mystic Clovers and it does so randomly. Each time you use the recipe you either get a clover or some other crafting material.

I don't know how much of this can be bought instead. The exotic weapons are listed in the gem store. Ramei only has 3 gold, thats not enough to buy anything needed.

Ramei has 8 personal story quests and 4 dungeonss to go. I did two personal store quests tonight, one was horrible. The boss was easy it was getting to him that was bad. The next didn't have a boss but was close quarter fighting inside a ship. BTW the charr have submarines and helicopters. Steam powered apparently.

The Legend is an exotic staff. To get it you have to be very lucky and receive it as a drop, or put four other exotic staves in the Mystic Forge or put four other gold weapons in the Mystic Forge. What the Forge makes is random, no guarantee. The Legend is also shown in the trading post.

Bloodstone Shard requires that you spend 200 skill points (after buying all elementalist skills I currently have 9 skill points left over)

Obsidan Shard costs 525,000 Karma ((I have around 40k)

Gift of Exploration requires completing every map in the game.

Gift of Battle requires 500 Badge of Honor from doing World vs World over and over and over and over...

Some of this stuff you apparently craft because you need a 400 level artifice and 400 level cook. I hope not on the same character because I have Ramei as artificer/tailor. Kissa is my cook.

How anybody has a Legendary weapon is beyond me. The only item I have plenty of is Mystic Coins, you get one every time you complete the Daily Achievement.

In comparison a Sylvari Wardens Staff (which is an exotic staff) costs 63,000 karma. So I'm about 20k short. Karma is not transferable. You can't move it between characters. You can't buy it. You have to earn it doing personal story and dynamic events. I can't imagine actually earning 525,000 karma.

Oh for completing the game you get 1 free exotic weapon. I saw somebody with the greatsword. Didn't know what it was at the time but I've since seen it on wiki. So you could complete the game on 4 character then have 1 put those 4 weapons in the forge and hope you get lucky and get the weapon you need to forge your legendary. Odds are not good though.

Yeah. Most of the Legendary weapons don't actually have a photo on wiki. For that matter nether do most of the racial weapons, can see that sylvari staff I mentioned however. I suspect the aquatic weapons will be the last Legendaries to ever be made. I'm thinking of getting the free end game trident for Ramei then buying the sylvari staff for 43k karma. Its going to take a long time to get that sylai armor I posted an image of.

Rameî has two personal story quests and four dungeons, in story mode, to go. Technically only the last dungeon is required, you face Zaihtan in the dungeon. The other three just tell how Destiny's Edge finally comes back together so you know how they show up in the last one. I don't think he actually has the last dungeon location on his map yet.

Hasn't even started on Legendary weapon. Still has 45% of the current map to complete. Actually mapping two continents , Tyria and Orr. And its not really all of Tyria. There are places you cant get to like the Dominion of Winds, the tengu's walled city.

Probably going to require completing a few more maps and doing daily events to get to 63,000 karma to buy that sylvari staff, currently have 46,146. No where near purchasing sylvari armor only have 3 gold.

If anybody would like to try Guild Wars 2 for free from November 15-18th please send me a private message with your email address. Current players can invite up to three people to a free trial this week. I do need to keep one slot avilable to see if a coworker wants it.

Oh one other thing on Legendary weapons. I'd guess that the least likely to be made one is Eternity, a greatsword that is actually made by sacrificing two other Legendary swords, Sunrise and Twilight. So you would need all the ingredients to produce the two Legendary swords plus two more ingridients to use with those two swords to make Eternity. What's special about it? During the day it has the special effects of Sunrisde and at night the special effects of Twilight.

Account Medals - if you logged into Guild Wars 2 you'd see something like this on your character screen, except new players would have fewer items. First item is your Map Completion. Hover mouse over it to see how much of the world has been completed by your most active character (64% in my case). The next line shows the Orders your characters have joined. The middle, black one, is the first one I got. Its the symbol of the Vigil. If you turn your head you see its an eye. The blue banner on the left is the symbol of the Durmand Priory. Knowledge is key, is I think what its trying to convey. The third, red, banner is the symbol of the Order of Whispers. And its got me perplexed. The first symbol on the third line is your Player vs Player (PVP) rank. Yes, you start out as a rabbit. If I did more PVP it would change. Next symbol is for World Vs World (Vs World). I'm guessing it would change if I did more WVW. The final symbol, which is still blank on my screen, is for equiping a Legendary Weapon on any character.

I just had my first encounter with the skritt thief. Whâkk was exploring Snowden Drifts when he came across a chest. When he opened it the skritt thiif jumped out. He ran after it. Naturally it ran right through a mob. Other player saw what I was doing and came running. We got the thief. I then ran back and got the stuff she dropped for me. What happens is the the thief tries to distract you. But you can go back and collect your treasures after you've taken down the skritt. Whâkk replaced his chest and leg armor again thanks to the skritt.
